<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (TP70 @ Mar 8 2010, 04:39 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>I think if you read Italian or Spanish media (which I don't) Spies would probably get far less mention then Simoncelli or Bautista when discussing rookies or talking up potential.
This forum has a large percentage of Americans and therefore a lot of love for American riders and bucket loads of talk on Spies potential. Nothing wrong with that but some perspective is good.
Personally and as an Aussie, Spies is going to spank all of the other rookies and I reckon will only be beaten in the championship race by one Italian and one Aussie.
I would not discount Lorenzo just yet.
